Details are coming together for my next most anticipated K-drama now that Descendants of the Sun has premiered. That would be Uncontrollably Fond, or Arbitrarily Fond as I’ve been calling it before but now will switch to Uncontrollably Fond as that’s the official English title KBS is going with. The drama is still filming with the main cast of Kim … Continue reading →
Looking ahead to the start of summer 2016, the coveted prime time Wed-Thurs lineup got finalized this week in terms of dramas scheduled. KBS had famed screenwriter Lee Kyung Hee penned Arbitrarily Fond with Kim Woo Bin and Suzy locked into that slot for months now to accommodate the pre-produced project that is intended for simultaneous live-airing in China. MBC announced last … Continue reading →
It feels like KBS drama Arbitrarily Fond has been filming for quite a long time but it’s actually only been a few months. The transition from live-filming to pre-produced isn’t new to other drama countries but for K-dramas it still takes some getting used to in expecting teasers and stills and whatnot. Arbitrarily Fond would seem like the perfect drama … Continue reading →
I’m probably most interested and curious in the KBS Wed-Thurs lineup in the new year of 2016 K-dramas. I don’t necessarily think it’s the strongest works in the making, nor have hopes that ratings will be good since that’s totally beyond prediction, but there are four dramas in succession that appears primed for buzz. Arriving on February 24th is Descendants … Continue reading →
Okay, at the risk of eating my own words come summer this year when the drama premieres, I’m willing to go out on a limb and say that I’m soooooo sold by the first teeny tiny teaser for upcoming KBS drama Arbitrarily Fond. Starring Kim Woo Bin and Suzy, I love him and like her, but am way more willing … Continue reading →
It was expected that there would be fast updates once filming begins on 2016 airing K-drama Arbitrarily Fond with Kim Woo Bin and Suzy. Both are extremely popular in Korea and as long as it was being filmed domestically there would be fan sightings aplenty and that is indeed the case as the fans are out in full force it … Continue reading →
Next year K-drama Arbitrarily Fond just turned into the mashup of a Heirs reunion with a What’s Up? with the casting of one new female lead. Im Joo Eun has been confirmed as the second female lead in the drama, which makes it the second time she’s done a drama with the similar sounding in name Im Joo Hwan, who … Continue reading →
There’s a new latest and maybe not so greatest news about next year 2016’s K-drama Arbitrarily Fond. I have no idea what’s going on behind the scenes but this is one slippery eel in terms of locking down a time slot. Of course when it comes to K-dramas, stuff like casting, network, and time slot are all subject to constant … Continue reading →
Is it me, or is upcoming KBS drama Arbitrarily Fond getting a lot of media coverage? It’s not just in Korea, China is covering more on this drama than its same network and arguably even bigger budget and scope Descendants of the Sun. I’m equally excited about both from a screenwriter and cast stand point, but am wondering if Kim … Continue reading →
This has been an uneventful year in dramas for me, and it’s hard to wrap my head around the year ending soon and already K-ent pundits are looking towards 2016 for discussion fodder. The network that has been getting killed in prime time ratings for the last two years is actually garnering the most interest thanks to the one-two-three leading … Continue reading →
